So, today was our last day here and last night was our last night in the Inn. Everyone at the inn were all so cool and nice, I want to go back and work there when I move, I would love it. Going to miss them a lot. And I went and told our chef Paula if I ever become rich and famous I am coming to find her and spending all my money hiring her as my personal chef. After we left I was really bummed but perked up later. After I put on my big black sunglasses to cover up my sad eyes, we headed to a town called Encinitas north of La Jolla. It was a cool authentic beach town--one of the few left that arent all built up and commercialized. And had amazing vintage stores :)
Had to get some fish tacos before I left! Yummmmm

After we left Encinitas we drove through the campus of University of California at San Deigo. It was beautiful--all the streets and the campus was lined with trees, I really loved the feel of it there.
Next, we checked into our hotel then headed back out to see the cove. I wanted to take pictures at sunset but it was a very overcast day so there wasnt really a sunset :( Nonetheless, the cove was breathtaking. I couldnt believe all the seals just laying on the rocks. Pictures really dont do the cove justice.

Took a picture of this water front villa for rent for my grandparents to get :)
I was planning on doing a style column on my outfits for everyday in Cali, but that didnt happen. But, here is a bit of my outfit from today with my latest color obsessions--mint and fuchsia!
After we left La Jolla Cove we headed to dinner at the amazing Trulucks. It was so so good--I just wish I hadnt been too full for dessert (which almost never happens).

Now, we are back at the hotel and I had to take a picture of these two. You have not experienced "going green" until you have been to California--it is great.
As we were finishing up dinner tonight the young manager of the restaurant came to talk to us--she was from Tennessee. We got to talking about how she got to Cali and she said she had met her husband studying abroad and this is where his family's company is. But, when she moved here she had no idea where she was going to work or live and didnt know a soul. She told me all the ways she got to know people and find jobs and internships and it was just overall really encouraging--it was like she was meant to come talk to us tonight. She said if you are in any way shakey or in doubt, it probably isnt going to turn out well but if your mind is completely made up then you need to go for it. And thats what scares me. I was coming here thinking I would love it ofcourse but still couldnt imagine just moving from Auburn knowing no one and leaving all my friends....but I have fell in love and wasnt prepared for me to love it here this much. I guess I would like to try to get a summer internship or something here over the summer, if I dont have to start school this summer, so then I can get a feel of what it would be like to really live here. I am determined to get an internship in the future with Bri Emery in L.A. Check her out here. I can just picture myself living here so perfectly. Anyways, I know the right thing will happen and it would be terrifying moving here without knowing anyone but I can come back to my friends at the inn and the girl from the restaurant gave me her e-mail address. She was SO nice and is about to move to San Francisco (which I still want to to visit to see if I would like living there better) and said to call her anytime I come back.
I forgot to mention how amazing the stars are in the west coast. As many of my friends know, I am a huge believer of the stars so they really draw me in here.
The trip went by so fast but we really fit so much in and saw so many things. It is truly hurting my heart to leave. I will probably be pretty bummed for a few days but I will be happy to see Neko (my cat) and my friends! I just never imagined I could love a place so much in my life--it just feels like home. Ill be leaving half of my heart here tomorrow.
I have probably forgotten a bunch of stuff or some important details so I will probably do a post of things I forgot when I get home.
